    My 8 year old daughter Cat is represented by Coastal Talent. Her agent entered the YouTube video of her audition to sing The National Anthem at the RiverDogs Games.

    rag top to hard top

    My T Top canvas has seen it's better days. It would probably hold up for a couple of more years but really would need to be removed and have the hem edges restitched. I am probably going to keep the boat so I was thinking about going back with a hard top. It's a factory installed t top. Does...

    A different "ride"

    I finally took my 222 out! It was sloppy in the harbor and very windy. The boat rides great. Not a speed demon but I knew that. I had a Mako 22 6 or 7 years ago and it was a great boat.

    Autopilot on a 222 Fisherman

    I'm the proud owner of a 1999 222 Fisherman. I would like to add autopilot and would appreciate any suggestions. The boat has mechanical steering w/ tilt wheel.

    Fisherman 222

    What top speed/cruising speed and approximate fuel comsumption could I expect out of a 1999 222 Fisherman with 225 OX66 engine, 17" SS prop, T Top and painted bottom? I know this is a heavy boat. I am considering one as described and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
